What Is Love? Author Unknown
Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on valentines and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favourite memories and the foundation of our fondest […]
I Saw Two Clouds At Morning, by John Gardiner Brainard
I saw two clouds at morning,Tinged by the rising sun,And in the dawn they floated on,And mingled into one;I thought that morning cloud was blest,It moved so sweetly to the west. I saw two summer currentsFlow smoothly to their meeting,And join their course, with silent force,In peace each other greeting;Calm was their course through banks […]

Wild Awake by Hilary T. Smith

Love Sonnet 17 by Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of the carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the […]
As Long As Your Eyes Are Blue, by A B Banjo Paterson
Wilt thou love me, sweet, when my hair is grey And my cheeks shall have lost their hue? When the charms of youth shall have passed away, Will your love as of old prove true? For the looks may change, and the heart may range, And the love be no longer fond; Wilt thou love […]
